Import Tips
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm classification as essential oil of mints, avoiding reclassification as extracts under 1302
• Provide GC-MS analysis reports for authentication, as customs may test for adulteration or synthetic content
• Label containers with botanical name (e.g
• Mentha spicata) and extraction method to prevent disputes over 'other mints' scope
